Malva pudding

Malva pudding is a sweet pudding that originated in South Africa. It has a spongy caramelized texture and contains apricot jam. It's frequently topped with a cream sauce while it's still hot, and it's usually served with custard and/or ice cream. It's available in a lot of South African restaurants.

After Oprah Winfrey's personal chef, Art Smith, served it for Christmas dinner to the students of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa in 2006, the pudding gained popularity on the West Coast of the United States.

Malva pudding is a sweet and sticky baked sponge pudding made with apricot jam and served with a hot cream sauce. This is South Africa's version of the British sticky toffee pudding, which is available in many restaurants but is mostly baked at home on Sundays. It is said to have been invented by Dutch settlers, and the recipe includes apricot jam. It's decadent and tastes similar to sticky toffee pudding, but it's far superior.
